OK, so yes it is a loaded question.
Please, for a "world community" can we try to avoid terms that are unique to North America? Regards, Anton. From Australia, one of numerous countries on the other 50% of the world where it is Spring and we are looking forward to a nice hot Christmas. |

Hi antonlak,
You are lucky to be living on the bottom of the world. Up here the leaves fall down to the ground during this season. I am going to have to rake them up before my neighbors complain, if I can get away from the computer.  mycrofth |

So I suppose that rules out Autumn too?????????
Guess a numbering system will have to suffice. |

Bottom of the world? I thought North America was at the bottom, a bit to the left:
 Our leaves only fall off the twig when their individual time is up, not in some ritualistic cult-like fashion spanning a few weeks.... :-) Cheers! Anton. P.S. "November 2005" or "December quarter" sound fine to me |

In the spring in Texas, the new leaves push the old ones off, and they fall. There's no fall color, but the spring flowers make up for it. When it's 2006 in Australia, it's still 2005 here. The days don't start at the same time either.

When I was doing a lot of citations, I decided that I loathed numbers to identify issues. I like Month-Year. That handles monthly, quarterly, irregular and sporadic very well unless they start coming weekly.
antonlak has handled his situation very well. With his corrected map, I cannot comment about standing on his head while his pocket change falls into the sky.  mycrofth |

Good point. We've learned a lot from this first newsletter. Next one we'll name using the month we send it.
